How long is the hedge, how high is it and what shape is it currently cut in? Does it form a boundary with a road, footpath or a neighbour's garden? If a public road or path, is it encroaching on the width of that way at all - in other words, is it a nuisance to anyone even to the slightest extent? What is the diameter of the trunks at about a foot above the ground? Is the purpose of this hedge to give privacy?

Jo47, your neighbour is clearly not a diplomat! But you have to allow him the preference not to have neighbours' plants growing into his garden. Similarly, bad hay-fever can be a dreadful problem - there are certain plants that give me a hard time. Both good examples of how not to approach problems.
